Nihil is an album by the German Industrial rock band KMFDM, released in 1995. It was recorded in Seattle, Washington.
Nihil is one of the only KMFDM albums that does not feature cover artwork by pop-artist Brute!. Instead, the cover was designed by Francesca Sundsten, wife of drummer Bill Rieflin.
Nihil is also the Latin word for nothing, from which the words "annihilate", "nil", and "nihilist" are derived.
A digitally remastered re-release of Nihil was released on March 6, 2007, along with Xtort.
